I am having THE worst computer problems. Last Tuesday and Wednesday it took me literally ALL DAY to be able to do anything on the computer. It kept malfunctioning something terrible. When it did go online it just would not do a thing so we have decided to buy a new computer BUT we can't buy a new one until mid January....boohoo Christmas has to come first when we have kids and grandkids.
I am going to try to update as much as...computer allowing

We done a big grocery shop yesterday. We went to Costco where one of the assistants proceeded to embarrass me. The story goes like this: All my items were put onto the belt, I grabbed two boxes to put the items into as they came down to me but one of the assistants decided she would help to pack our items, I have to say that we prefer to pack our own things ourselves, anyway, she had the longest tarted up finger nails I have ever seen for a shop assistant. At one point she had her hands hanging over the edge of the box into it, as I put a box of strawberries into the box I accidentally caught her finger/finger nail with the edge of the carton and OH MY GOODNESS! She screeched so loudly, "OUCH!" of course everyone looked and I immediately felt so embarrassed by the way she screeched at me, I  immediately said, "Oh! I am so sorry!" She then put her back to me and wouldn't speak or acknowledge AT ALL! She eventually turned around and spoke to the cashier and said, " I was frightened to look at my finger because I thought my cuticle was cut but it wasn't". I tell you, there was NOT A MARK on her finger AT ALL! She then turned away and helped someone else. I'm sure she could have acknowledged me and accepted my apology or something...the nasty piece of work, I did apologise, what more could I have done? It's not as though I tried to hurt her deliberately. The cashier even smiled at me because she couldn't see a mark on the assistants finger either and that she made a deal about it.
Anyway, I also bought a good few of the Christmas presents, I just have two more presents to buy and that is me done...woohoo.
I have only just put the Christmas tree up today and I still haven't got any ornaments on it yet, I will do that tomorrow.

I have decided that come January 2015 I am giving it my all to get to goal weight before I turn 50 years old, so that gives me 1 year to do this. I turn 49 years old on January 8th, so one year, surely I can do this! I never wanted to be fat and forty but unfortunately I have just got bigger in my 40's and I am also going through the menopause which doesn't help keep our weights down or lose weight so I have decided that I am going to be fit and fifty, so it will be full steam ahead to lose the weight and get fit!

Over this last week or so I have been cleaning every nook and cranny in my home and I mean EVERY nook and cranny. I have had to do a thorough clean to make sure I have got all the saw dust out from when my hubby was sanding the stairs over the last month or so. I still have one or two things to still clean but I can say that all the saw dust has gone now...all cleaned away. I always do a thorough cleaning of my home at Christmas time and I always will and of course I do my daily cleans and occasional deeper clean throughout the years but the Christmas clean is THE BIGGY! Tomorrow I will be getting on with that last few jobs of cleaning and finish sorting the tree.

I will try to get back tomorrow, I need to find photo's to take to put here...if my computer will let me.

Night night
